Because it's a horse [expletive] product and nobody else in the rest of the country would buy it.
That was my point, but obviously I worded it like I was lamenting the fact it wasn't available elsewhere. Oops. Pork steaks is another weird regional food product.

Oh, I understood your intentions. I wanted to spell it out as clearly as possible.

I like the pork steak, though. I've never quite understood STL claiming it for itself, though. I know we ate them in both Iowa and Wisconsin when I was a kid, so it's not like you can't find them anywhere else.

So needless to say, I don't like it. I would reverse luke's opinion of it vs. Katie's, which is pretty good.

I do miss Il Vicino.
But I don't hate Katie's at all. In fact I really like it, they just made a stupid pizza and I bought it so I was feeling a bit stung. Also, I was shocked that 3 Monkeys pizza was as good as it was since that was the place that [expletive] up a waffle.


Anybody try Manjelou? Worst name ever. I've never heard of a place lasting only 3 months.

Just vomit on a plate and eat it and you can participate in these threads. There is no sense in going to Imo's.

If you watch the PBS special, they made it because in St. Louis, we like things neat. The square pizza is nice and neat. Provel doesn't string out a foot or two between your mouth and the piece of pizza, it clips neatly when you bite into it.

Imo's also claims to be the first delivery (which I was unable to confirm even remotely).

Pizza's like sex. Even when it's not great, it's still very satisfying.

The Good Pie, then, is like sex with a squad of SEC cheerleaders. (Take yr pick, I'll go U Georgia.)
